Not all monsters are evil. Some choose to do better. So, which one am I?
Eighteen-year-old Adele believes she’s a monster because of her ability to infiltrate minds. For years, she’s been kept captive at Castle Forge, living comfortably under the watchful eye of a tyrant general. But after secretly witnessing her aunt heal someone with her blood, Adele knows the only way to get answers is to escape. Even if that means leaving behind the one person who’d shown her compassion during her captivity.
She travels far to her childhood village, and while trying to uncover the mysteries of her past, she encounters the Shade. The same mysterious attackers who changed her life eight-years ago. The Shade have been raiding Adele’s childhood village, capturing its inhabitants for their queen, the ruler of the Under Realm. It isn’t long before Adele realizes these attackers possess similar powers, drawing more questions about who she is, where she comes from, and how she’s connected to these evil beings.
After a childhood friend is captured and taken to the Under Realm, Adele must decide whether to stay and help the village or return to Castle Forge, where a dear friend might be in danger from the general’s wrath. With evil all around, Adele must choose who she wants to be and what her future holds.
This young-adult dark fantasy story promises a captivating and thrilling journey filled with action, suspense, and unexpected twists. Book one in the THREE SHADES TRILOGY explores themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and the power of choice as Adele navigates a dangerous medieval world to find her place in it.
Old adversaries resurface, and new threats arise as Adele and Rune navigate a delicate balance between their newfound freedoms and the risk of losing everything they hold dear.
In the village of Bricen, Adele is learning to manage the complexities of home life, while battling the darkness inside that’s yearning to be released. Despite her willingness to blur the boundaries between right and wrong, she fears judgement from those closest to her.
Meanwhile, Rune encounters obstacles in the Starlight Realm as she and the recently freed angels strive to restore their once magnificent city of Stellara to its former glory. Battling self-doubt and the pressure to meet expectations, Rune fears their home may be lost forever.
When a dark force returns to the Human Realm, Adele, Rune, and their closest friends must devise a plan to eliminate the threat once and for all. But with the arrival of a new formidable adversary—with powers capable of bringing even an angel to their knees—their chances of success are looking grim.
Even with the return of someone believed to be lost forever might not be enough to ensure victory. Adele and Rune are fully aware of the consequences if they fail, and the weight of potential failure burdens them both, as they question whether their abilities will be enough to protect themselves and their friends in the end.
